watching any of those episodes knowing he's going to luckbox his way into winning every big pot is literally more painful to watch than "who's now."

Sportcenter has to do something to fill in all the non-football, basketball, hockey time.

Go back 5 years, watch Sportscenter from July 18, then watch tonights, and tell me that it is better with who's now that just showing more highlights. [/hijack]

I think this final table is going to be pretty interesting when we can see Yang's hole cards and just how much of a monster he was in regards to constant aggression vs just being a card rack ala Jamie Gold.

Likewise with Alex and Tuan. They'd build up to a decentish stack, then dwindle away. Were they really that cold decked or were they just very weak-tight? Will be fun to know.

Yea, I was shocked that Tuan kept blinding down so badly, especially after he was able to build a big stack coming into today.

According to wikipedia, it was plenty entertaining. From Alex Kravchenko entry:

"During one particular play at the World Series, Kravchenko's manager angrily approached him at the table, calling him a donkey in Russian. Clearly agitated, Kravchenko lifted his manager by the throat and threw him into the shocked crowd. He then pointed at eventual winner Jerry Yang and said, "I raise for me...FOR ME!""
